Select 2 Dropdown width

[ian.cl...@gmail.com]

Hi Igor,

I really like Select2, your documentation and the API in particular are really great. I'm wondering whether or not you've considered looking at adding a feature that allows you to have a container and a dropdown of different widths. I'm looking to convert a number of selects using this, but whilst the selects themselves are small, the options dropdowns are as wide as needs be. Obviously I could just override this behaviour using CSS (and I will probably do this for now) - but the current styling doesn't really suit this kind of design currently.

Really I just wanted to point out that you may have situations where you have _really_ long options, but you don't want to have a _really_ long container.

Thanks,
Ian

you can set the dropdown width to something other than the container's
using dropdownCss option. in the master branch there is also a new
dropdownAutoWidth option.

Hi Igor,
Thanks for the quick reply - yes I went with the dropdownCss option in the first place, but you still need to use the !important flag to override the inline width. The dropdownAutoWidth is exactly what I'm looking for, though I think for now I'll wait until it's in the stable release. Thanks :)
